Unfortunately, the only thing Mr. Sellers can possibly do about that is
subscribe to the list using another mail provider.  Yahoo sets a
p=reject DMARC policy, which breaks perfectly normal mailing lists like
this one[1].

There are workarounds[2] that can be implemented by whoever runs the
list, but they naturally require a newer version of mailman than this
list runs, and are all subtly broken with respect to the status quo.
